After a barnstorming and sell-out world premiere run at Edinburgh Fringe 2022, the multi -award winning Manic Street Creature by Maimuna Memon (Standing at The Sky’s Edge, Electrolyte) makes its London debut at Southwark Playhouse Borough from 19 October - 11 November.

A fresh and thrilling take on a modern love story from Olivier nominee Maimuna Memon. Love, lust, and late nights collide in a musical rollercoaster, taking the audience through the euphoria and distress of two people dealing with their own and each other’s mental health.

Ria is working with her band to complete a new album - songs charting the rise and fall of a recent relationship. But the more Ria progresses, the more she’s drawn back to the darkness of her troubled past, until we’re not sure where memory ends and reality begins.

Creator of the show Maimuna Memon, said: “I have always wanted to bridge the gap between the music industry and theatre, and with Manic Street Creature I have tried to bring songs you might hear on record to the stage. This, alongside a deeply personal story makes this show the most important I have ever written. Mental Health has played a big part in my life, and I hope that people can watch this show, be brought on a journey and feel like they aren’t alone. I am so excited to be bringing this show to London and to a venue that has such an incredible reputation for innovative and new musical work.”

Manic Street Creature is directed by Kirsty Patrick Ward and stars Maimuna Memon, Rachel Barnes, and Harley Johnston.
